Cloud Nine

I am on such a high - I came second in Nina's Thai Event. I have never won anything in my life - and what better validation to win (or come second in) a cooking competition when you love to cook? Better still, to win a Thai Cookbook when your favourite food is Thai?!

The competition was very stiff - I was among 8 esteemed bloggers. Jan Tripepi won the first prize of a meal at Wang Thai in Milnerton and what a well deserved winner she was. Not only was her meal a virtual extravaganza for the senses, but her blogs are an ode to food - her passion and love for food practically bounces off your screen. She is so inspiring and her step by step visuals make you want to race into the kitchen - she makes it look so easy! Congrats Jan! :)

Thanks so much Nina - I am on cloud nine! :)

Now, what recipe can I end off this post with - I need something wow and with pizzazz and something that epitomises my love of thai flavours...

Ok, so nothing can match the way I'm feeling right now - so I'll end off with this:

Praise for Leaine's Kitchen

- I am blown away by your recipes, and so happy to have you contributing to our site. I too am an allergy sufferer, namely to dairy and to a lesser extent gluten. So your recipes really provide some good ideas. And it's really tough supplying our readers with allergy specific recipes, as most of the sites I supply from are American and thus use strange ingredients not yet available here. Caitlin de Kok, Recipes Editor, www.mycookbook.co.za

- It is really wonderful to have a blog like this as there are many people out there with allergies and we often get questions... I really like your blog and the recipes are great.Caro de Waal, Resident Chef, Food24.com

- I really enjoyed [your blog] and although at present I am a very lazy cook I just find it so amazing all the positive and beautiful thoughts and information you put on there. Your homage to autumn is just so beautiful and true. Monika Becker

- ... congratulations on taking control of your health. Your experiences and knowledge is something we definitely need to share with more people. I went onto your website and it is full of great information. If you would like to write an article on type III allergies I will put onto our site. Matthew Ballenden (Fresh Earth)

- I have just been onto your blog and my mouth is watering. My colleague Dr Botha and myself are blown-away by the blog and we will be sending patients to it frequently. It looks like a lot of hard work and passion has been put into the website as well as into the food! Congratulations! Dr Davidson (Homeopath)
